Currently, he teaches for the University of Tennessee at Chattanooga where he has been a full-time member of the English department for seventeen years, teaching creative writing, rhetoric and composition, and Japanese literature. In his spare time, he loves to read, draw, play board games and video games with his kids, and watch horror and science-fiction movies. When he can, he tends his vegetable garden as best he can and dreams of travelling abroad with his family. He is working on two additional novels and plans for a potential sequel to The Neverborn Thief.

Stay tuned for more updates as we prepare to bring The Neverborn Thief into readers’ hands in 2025.
